Questions
How does average rent vary as a function of pet inclusive
housing?
What socioeconomic factors (race, income, etc.) are predictive of
housing being more or less pet inclusive?
Descriptive Stats
Below are 2 tables for each market and markets combined. The first
table is the median value for each numeric column by SVI group, 1 being
the least vulnerable and 5 being the most vulnerable. The second table
shows the percent of TRUE values for each logical column by SVI group.
The first is by properties and the second by total units.
Note that every logical column after PetsAllow is of only units and
properties that reported a TRUE value for PetsAllow. Also note that the
PI column refers to whether the property is pet inclusive or not based
on the properties PI score. Greater than or equal to 50 receives TRUE
and less than 50 receives FALSE.
